"It's just that these things happened a long time ago. Please forgive Tan'er for not remembering these."
"It's okay if you don't remember. When the emperor comes back in the future, you will be able to remember it again when you get along with each other."
After hearing this, Xia Tan'er became even more wary of the Queen. Together with the Queen, she and De Fei wanted to use her to win over the Lu family to support their prince. Only in this way, their prince would ascend to the throne in the future. Then there are no worries.
Xia Tan'er slowly retracted her hand and gave the queen a harmless smile.
"Let's talk about it in the future. The child in my belly is more important to me now. Queen Tan'er has important things to do next and needs to take the first step."
"I wanted to keep you in the palace to have lunch together, but it seems I can only look for another opportunity next time. Tan'er has nothing to do and often comes to the palace to accompany me. It's really boring for me to be alone in the palace. Very, with you in this palace, I feel that life is much more fun."
"Yes, Queen."
Xia Tan'er bowed to the queen before slowly leaving. But the moment she turned her back, the queen's gentle eyes suddenly turned fierce, and the ferocity in her eyes was something outsiders had never seen before.
"Let's go back to the palace."
"Yes, empress."
After leaving the Royal Garden, Xia Tan'er looked back and quickly walked away. She always felt that the palace was very dark and she would have bad luck if she stayed here. She would rather leave earlier than stay here for a long time. So as not to cause trouble that shouldn't be caused.
As soon as she left the palace, the tension in her heart immediately disappeared without a trace. After Xia Tan'er stroked her chest to steady her breath, she smiled slightly and walked towards the carriage.
But just as the curtains were raised, another carriage drove over.
"Tan'er~"
Nan Lingmu lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. When he shouted to Xia Tan'er, he smiled like a nympho, not to mention how eye-catching it was.
"Why is this guy here now?"
What can I do? The head of the Xue family and Sun Shangshu are still waiting for me in Xiaoxiang Tower... It's better to send him away early.
Xia Tan'er sighed, turned around and smiled slightly at Nan Lingmu.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, why do you have time to enter the palace today?"
"Of course I didn't come here to enter the palace. Of course I came here because I knew you were coming."
The carriage stopped in front of Xia Tan'er. Nan Lingmu jumped out immediately before it stopped. Yan'er hurriedly stepped forward to support Nan Lingmu.
"Your Highness, Second Prince, be careful."
"Miss Yan'er, you are here too."
Thinking about the good relationship between the two before, Xia Tan'er was very happy to see Yan'er and hurriedly said hello to Yan'er.
But Yan'er acted as if she had never seen her before, she was so unfamiliar that she didn't even dare to raise her head to look at her, and her entire face became stiff when she heard her voice.
"Yan... Yan'er has met Miss Xia."
Seeing Yan'er like this, Xia Tan'er couldn't help but fall into melancholy. After all, it was still a feudal society, and there was an essential difference between master and slave. This was an insurmountable gap between the two of them.
"Look, the injury on your face is almost healed. If you feel any discomfort in the future, just come to the medical clinic on the street and see me. I will treat you for free without any consultation fee."
"Thank you, Miss Tan'er. Yan'er appreciates Miss Tan'er's kindness."
"Hey... Tan'er, why are you so partial? You're so kind to Yan'er and you don't accept the consultation fee. You don't show mercy at all when we accept the consultation fee."
